I just picked up a mint set for a fair price. The tires are absolutely done (corded down to the steel ply on the insides; the seller had told me a bold faced lie that he corded them from all the autocrossing he does ), and are in a stupid size (205/40/17).

I would have gone with 8" wide wheels, but my options were pretty much all in the 20+ lb. range. These are around 16.8 lbs. In hindsight, I wish I'd had gone with a lower offset (I have maybe 5mm clearance between these stretched 205s and the strut body), but it's nothing a spacer can't fix.

I fitted a friends' 16x8 +38 Enkei RPF1s on 225/50/16 BFG KDWs and those seemed to clear. so here's hoping 225/45s will fit.

Not to save up for some Hankook R-S3s.

 

Very nice. thanks for sharing, they look good on your car. They remind me of the volk te37s

 

GramLights were made by Rays Engineering, so they're made by the same people. Ever since I was a kid, I'd loved how the 57Ss looked, but I could never afford them (working at a grocery store as a bag boy in high school didn't help either).
